Each application addresses a different phase of your financial operations; together, they form a powerful accounting solution to your daily and periodic accounting needs. Customer Support Open Systems has a strong commitment to customer service and product quality. If you have difficulty in using Open Systems products, consult the user’s manual and other OSAS reference materials. If you need more information, consult a customer support representative. OSAS Overview Resource Manager The Resource Manager application is the foundation or shell of OSAS; it provides the operating environment that holds the other applications. Resource Manager also includes three powerful business features: Global Inquiry, Executive Information Summary (EIS) and Print Manager. With Global Inquiry, you can drill around your accounting data to find selected information throughout your system. With EIS, you can access company information quickly and view summaries of all aspects of a company or a group of companies. With Print Manager, when you print reports to file, your reports can be stored, sorted, printed, and searched for specific text. Base Applications Base applications are designed and produced with the largest possible number of industries in mind. They are most effective when you interface them with each other. Base applications are usually named after common accounting operations. Examples are: General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Purchase Order, Accounts Receivable, Sales Order, Payroll, and Inventory. Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual 1-3 Welcome to OSAS™ Introduction OSAS Versions 6.1 and Higher You can use OSAS versions 6.1 and higher in text (or character-based) mode on any supported operating system. In Windows environments, you have the choice to use either the text version or the graphical version. While the interface is different in the two versions, the functions in both versions are the same in screen layout and in function. The OSAS user’s manuals show screens in the graphical format. You should be able to apply the information shown in the graphical examples to the text version with ease. For specifics on using the graphical version of OSAS, refer to page 1-13. For specifics on using the text version, refer to page 1-35. 1-4 Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual The Bill of Materials/Kitting System Use Bill of Materials/Kitting to account for assemblies that you manufacture (bills of materials) or take from inventory and sell (kits). The assemblies can be created from raw materials, other assemblies, or a combination of raw materials and assemblies. For example, a computer reseller sells a computer system as a single unit made up of a monitor, a keyboard, a CPU, a printer and a printer stand. The reseller buys the monitor, the keyboard, the CPU and the printer from different companies. The business also buys raw material for the printer stand, but the reseller’s business builds the stand for the customer. The computer system is a kit. The reseller identifies the system as a kit ID (CS0001), with five types of components from inventory: one monitor, one keyboard, one CPU, on printer and one stand. Each can be sold separately. The stand is an assembly represented as a bill of materials. The reseller identifies it as an assembly ID (SH0001), with three types of components: five boards, two metal plates, and eighteen screws. The boards, plates, and screws are not sold separately from each other. The parts that make up the other components are not sold separately either—for example, the F7 key or the monitor shell is not sold separately. The difference between the stand and the other components is that the reseller is in charge of assembling the stand. The reseller does not need to assemble a keyboard, a monitor, and a CPU; they may as well be raw materials. The example illustrates the difference between a kit and a bill of materials. Each different kind of component in a kit can be sold separately. (You must use the Sales Order application to sell kits; Bill of Materials/Kitting does not work with the Accounts Receivable application alone.) Selling a kit is no different from selling its components separately (other than saving keystrokes). A bill of materials is composed, at least in part, of components that are not sold separately and that the user’s business is in charge of building. Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual 1-5 The Bill of Materials/Kitting System Introduction The final stage involving a kit is its sale through the Sales Order application (which recognizes the item as a kit). The final stage involving a bill of materials is updating the INVExxx (Inventory Items) file with the on-hand quantity of the finished product. After the assembly has been built, it is identified as an item in the Inventory application, and you can sell it as an item through the Accounts Receivable application or the Sales Order application. An assembly (or a built bill of materials) is identified differently from a kit. Bill of Materials/Kitting is the only OSAS application that identifies an item ID as an assembly ID. Inventory, Accounts Receivable, and Sales Order see an assembly as another item. However, Bill of Materials/Kitting and Sales Order distinguish between a kit and an item. Inventory and Bill of Materials/Kitting check the Inventory system for the item ID if the item is an assembly. Sales Order and Bill of Materials/Kitting read the BKMHxxx (Master Header) and BKMDxxx (Master Detail) files for the item ID if the item is a kit. If an assembly is sold as a kit, the appropriate items are subtracted from Inventory. Following the example above, if the reseller sells one kit CS0001 (the computer system), the on-hand quantities of CPUs, keyboards, monitors, printers and stands are all decreased by one. If an assembly is sold as an item, its quantity decreases by one in Inventory; the quantities of its constituent parts decrease when the assembly is being built. Following the example above, when the computer system is sold, the number of stands decreases by one, but the number of boards, plates, and screws stays the same. Those numbers are adjusted accordingly only when you use the Build Assembly function. If the reseller sells the kit and each component decreases by one, the reseller must check the quantities of each piece of equipment. If the number of monitors, keyboards, CPUs, or printers is in the negative range, the reseller orders more from the vendor. If the number of stands is in the negative range, the reseller, knowing that the stand is an assembly, sees from the bill of materials for the stand that each stand uses five boards, two plates, and eighteen screws. 1-6 Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual Introduction The Bill of Materials/Kitting System The reseller checks inventory again for the bill of materials’ components. If the right quantity of necessary items is not in stock, the reseller places the appropriate order. If the right quantity is in stock, the reseller supervises the assembly of the stand and then uses Bill of Materials/Kitting to enter the fact that a stand has been built. To do this task with only the Inventory application, the reseller needs to know which items make up a stand along with any other items the business is responsible for making. Inventory can track an item’s ID, description, quantity, cost, and so on, but it cannot automatically track its constituent parts or quantities of those parts. Daily Work Use the Daily Work functions for operations that involve building and tracking assemblies, producing the Build Assembly Journal, undoing a build, and posting transactions. Reports Use the Reports functions to produce summarized information about components, costs, and histories. File Maintenance Use the File Maintenance functions to set up and maintain information about assemblies and kits. Master File Lists Use the Master File Lists functions to produce information about kits and bills of material. Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual 1-7 The Bill of Materials/Kitting System Introduction Application Interaction Bill of Materials/Kitting requires Inventory to run. These two applications can be used alone, but are most useful when you interface them with other applications. Interfacing applications means that the information you enter in one application can be transferred to and used in other applications. Doing so reduces data entry time and the number of errors that might creep in along the way. 1-8 Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual Conventions Your manual will help you to install OSAS on any standard machine within many popular operating systems and help you with your accounting software questions. In the manual, we use the term “Conventions”, or standards, to help describe complicated processes, new terms, and to help you use your OSAS applications. Manual Conventions The Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual is divided into the following sections: • “Introduction” provides an overview of this application and the OSAS system, and the basic functionality of the application including graphical and textbased application features, and function key references. • “Application functions” explains the functions within the application, where each function fits within the application, and how to use each function to get the most out of the application. Mouse Conventions The standard mouse has two buttons, left and right, each performing certain functions. In this manual, we use these terms for using the mouse: click, right-click, double-click, and deselect. The click is a single press on the left mouse button. Place the cursor over the desired function, and press the left button to enable, or “select”, that function. A right-click is a single press of the right mouse button. To double-click, move the cursor over the desired function, and quickly press the left mouse button twice. If there is too long a pause between clicks, the computer may interpret your action as two separate clicks and may not perform the desired function. Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual 1-9 Conventions Introduction To deselect an object, move the cursor off the icon or folder onto a blank space within the window and press the left mouse button. Note Some mouse manufacturers allow you to change the function of the mouse buttons for those who prefer (for example) to use the mouse with their left hand. In this case, reverse the commands when you use them. For example, a click refers to a single press of the right mouse button, while the term right-click refers to a single press of the left button, and so on. OSAS Conventions Operations in OSAS follow conventions, or patterns. The conventions used in OSAS applications are presented below. Running OSAS OSAS runs in an operating system supported by 150 megabytes of permanent storage and 4MB of RAM. You may need additional space or memory, depending on the size of your data files and the operating system you use. Consult your reseller for more information. Starting OSAS To start OSAS on a computer running Windows, double-click the OSAS shortcut on the desktop or in the appropriate folder. To start OSAS on an operating system other than Windows, enter osas at the operating system prompt. The osas command can recognize three parameters: -t, -c, and -a. 1-10 Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual Introduction Conventions The terminal ID (-t) is the identification code assigned to the terminal you are using to run OSAS. On multiuser systems each terminal usually has a default ID that was assigned when the terminals were added to the system. Use the -t parameter only when you want to log on with an ID other than the default ID. The terminal parameter is valid only if you are using Resource Manager for LANs. The company ID (-c) is the identification code assigned to a company. If your system carries two or more companies and you do not enter a company ID, the menu of the company entered by the last person who used the terminal appears. The access code (-a) is your personal password. Refer to the Resource Manager User’s Manual for information about assigning passwords. The most general expression for getting into OSAS takes all the parameters into account. For example, if you are on terminal 2, you want to work with company B, and the password is selena, specify that information to enter the system: osas -t T2 -c B -a selena In UNIX you can enter the parameters in any order, and you can use any combination. You must leave a space between the parameter mark (-t, -c, or -a) and the parameter itself. In Windows you can click on the shortcut’s properties and, in the Target field, enter your access code and your company ID. For example, using selena as your access code and H as your company ID, enter C:\osas\progRM\osastm.exe -m4096 -tT00 -nT00 - -aselena -cH In the Windows icon properties, the parameter marks (-m, -t, or -n) can be entered in any combination but must be before the separation dash. The access code and company ID commands (-a and -c) must be entered after the separation dash. GUI/Text Command Conventions When you see the phrase “use the Proceed (OK) command” in the user’s manuals, you can press the PgDn key in either text or graphical mode. In graphical mode, clicking the OK button has the same effect as pressing the PgDn key. Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual 1-11 Conventions Introduction Menu Conventions When you start OSAS, the Main menu, which presents the applications you can use, appears. If you are using the Resource Manager for UNIX or Linux, the Text menu appears. If you are using the Resource Manager for Windows, you can choose between the Text menu, the Graphical menu, or the Start-style menu. In Windows, use the Workstation Configuration Defaults function (see the Resource Manager User’s Manual) to select the style of menu you want displayed by default, or you can press Shift-F5 to toggle between the menu styles from any menu. You can use any of the menus regardless of whether you use the text or graphical modes for the OSAS functions. Favorites Menu The Favorites menu operates in any of the menu formats. The Favorites menu allows quick and easy access to the OSAS functions you use most, allowing you to add selections for entire menus or particular functions. With the Favorites menu, you save time in no longer switching to and from commonly accessed applications. For example, if you perform tasks in several applications, such as Transactions and Cash Receipts in Accounts Receivable, GL Account maintenance in General Ledger, and Price and Item Inquiry functions in Inventory, you can set up a Favorites menu rather than moving between each application’s menus. Once you have set up your Favorites menu, you can open a function for use with one press of the Enter key or the click of a mouse button. Favorites Menu: Graphical Style For a sample of the Start-style favorites menu, see page 1-23. For a sample of the text favorites menu, see page 1-37. 1-12 Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual OSAS Graphical In a Windows environment, you can choose from two types of graphical-style menus. The standard Graphical menu features application selections that resemble many Windows functions. The Start-style menu is named because of its functional resemblance to the Start menu in Windows 95, 98, NT and 2000. Both graphical menus provide pull-down menus, convenient tool buttons and easy access to your installed applications and their functions using either the mouse or keyboard. The two graphical menus provide you with a visual choice in your interaction with OSAS and your data. When you select an application in either graphical OSAS menu, the application’s main menu, presenting several related functions, is displayed beside the OSAS menu. Selecting a function leads you to either a function screen or another menu. Several commands are available within the menu to perform various tasks such as changing the system date, entering access codes, switching between sample data and live data, and so on. You can perform these menu commands in these ways (if a button or pull-down menu selection is muted or gray, it is not available for use): • • • click the appropriate graphical tool button select the command from a pull-down menu press the associated keyboard hot key If you use the graphical menu, you can select application menus and functions by clicking the function or menu name on the menu, or by highlighting your choice and pressing Enter. If you choose the Start menu you can select applications from the Main menu by using the arrow keys to highlight your choice and pressing Enter, by clicking the selection, or by holding the mouse cursor over the selection until the menu appears. From any application menu, you can select a button from the previous menu to move directly to that menu. If you are several menu levels away from the Main menu, you can return to the Main menu by clicking items on the previous menus. Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual 1-13 OSAS Graphical Introduction Graphical Main Menu You can exit from a Graphical menu in these ways: • • • • • 1-14 select a button from a previous menu press the Tab key to go to the OSAS menu click the Close box in the upper right hand corner of the window to close OSAS use the Exit (F7) command to close OSAS select Exit from the pull-down File menu to close OSAS Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual Introduction OSAS Graphical Start Main Menu You can exit from a menu in these ways: • • • • • • press the left arrow key to go to the previous menu (one menu up) hold the mouse over a different menu choice press the Tab key to go to the OSAS menu click the Close box in the upper right hand corner of the window to close OSAS use the Exit (F7) command to close OSAS select Exit from the pull-down File menu to close OSAS Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual 1-15 OSAS Graphical Introduction Special Commands in Graphical Menus In either graphical menu, you can right-click on a menu selection to display the Special Commands menu, which allows you to perform these special tasks: From the standard menus: • • • • • add a function or menu to the Favorites menu change to the Favorites menu change from live to sample data and vice versa display information about a function perform special application setup From the Favorites menu: • • • • • remove a function or menu change to the Main menu change from live to sample data and vice versa display information about a function perform special application setup Menu Keys Keyboards have a set of function keys (labeled with the letter F and a number), which can be used to perform certain functions within OSAS.

Pull-Down Menus When using the graphical menus, you can use the pull-down menus and tool buttons (buttons with graphical icons in a row below the pull-down menus) to access functions without using the function keys. While the function keys work in the graphical menus, the menu bar and tool buttons offer you a choice in accessing these functions. Such a choice is common in graphical Windows applications. Using the mouse, you can either move the cursor to the menu and click once, or click on a tool button for the function desired. Below is a sample of the OSAS pulldown menu and tool buttons and a description of each.

Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual Reports Selecting a Range of Information To produce a report, you must specify the amount of information you want in the report. • To produce a report that includes all the available information, leave the From-Thru fields on the report function screen blank. For example, if you want information about all the vendors to be in a report, leave the Vendor ID From and Thru fields blank. • To limit the amount of information in the report, enter the range of information in the From-Thru fields. For example, if you want a report to include information only about vendor ACE001, enter ACE001 at both From and Thru. If you want the report to include information only about vendors that start with CO, enter CO at From and COZZZZ at Thru. Each field where you enter information on a report function screen usually restricts the overall output of the report. For example, if you leave the Vendor ID From and Thru fields blank, the report will contain information about all the vendors. But if you enter invoice 100 in the Invoice Number From and Thru fields, and invoice 100 is assigned only to vendor ACE001, the report includes information only about vendor ACE001. Sorting Information for reports is sorted first by a space (_), then by characters, then by digits, then by uppercase letters, and finally by lowercase letters. No matter what you enter in the From and Thru fields, however, your entries are sorted in alphabetical order (unless the function provides an option to sort the information differently). Sorting by alphabetical codes or IDs is easy. For example, the ID ACL comes before the ID BB because A comes before B. Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual 1-47 Reports Introduction But take notice when you enter codes or IDs that consist of something other than letters; the order might not be what you expect. For example, if 20 items are labeled 1 through 20 and you want all of them to be in a report, you might enter 1 at From and 20 at Thru, expecting them to be listed 1, 2, 3. . . 19, 20. However, since OSAS sorts in alphabetical order, they are listed in a different order: 1, 10–19, 2, 20, 3–9. To prevent that situation, pad extra spaces in codes and IDs with zeros so that numbers in alphabetical order are also in numerical order. In the example above the items would be labeled 00000000000000000001 through 00000000000000000020. Output the Report When you use the Proceed (OK) command, the Output Information screen appears. To print the report 1-48 • Select Printer and choose the printer. On some reports, you can also choose whether to print the report in standard-size print or in compressed print. • Click OK (or press Enter in text mode) to continue. Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual Introduction Reports To view the report in Print Preview mode • Select Print Preview and choose the printer. On some reports, you can also choose whether to print the report in standard-size print or in compressed print. • Click OK (or press Enter in text mode) to continue. To save the report as a File If you want to save the report as a data file—for example, to include it in a wordprocessed report (in CR-LF format)—select File. The data path for the workstation, including the default drive, appears if it is specified in the Defaults function. Enter the filename and file extension, using no more than 35 characters overall. Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual 1-49 Installation and Conversion 2 Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual Installation Conversion Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual 2-3 2-5 2-1 Installation Before You Install Bill of Materials/Kitting Make sure your system meets these minimum requirements before you install Bill of Materials/Kitting. The Bill of Materials/Kitting system needs a minimum of 3 megabytes (3Mb) of disk space to work correctly with programs, sample data, data dictionaries, system files, and graphics files. Having more disk space available is necessary for the data files you will create and maintain. The OSAS system requires at least one megabyte (1Mb) of main memory to run. More memory may be necessary in certain environments and operating systems. Installing Bill of Materials/Kitting Use the Install Applications function in Resource Manager (see the Resource Manager User’s Manual) to install Inventory. Then use the same function to install Bill of Materials/Kitting. Setting up Bill of Materials/Kitting Once you have Bill of Materials/Kitting installed on your system, you must prepare your data files for everyday use. You can prepare files for use with Bill of Materials/Kitting in one of two ways: you can create and set up your files manually on a new system, or you can convert your old files when you upgrade from an earlier version. To create files on a new system, use the Data File Creation function on the Company Setup menu in Resource Manager (see the Resource Manager User’s Manual). For instructions on converting your files, see the Conversion section later in this chapter. You must install and set up Inventory before you set up Bill of Materials/Kitting. If you plan to use General Ledger or Sales Order with Bill of Materials/Kitting, you must install and set up those applications before you set up Bill of Materials/ Kitting. Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual 2-3 Conversion If you use an earlier version of OSAS Bill of Materials/Kitting, you can convert your files from the older version to the current version. When you are ready to convert files, use the Data File Conversion function on the Company Setup menu in Resource Manager (see the Resource Manager User’s Guide) to upgrade Bill of Materials/Kitting data files. You can upgrade from version 4.xx, 5.xx, or 6.0x. Note You must install the new version of Bank Reconciliation before you convert files. You can replace and update the programs properly only by using the Install Applications function in Resource Manager. Before you convert an application’s files, make note of the version number of the application you are converting from. The Data File Conversion function has no way of determining the information from within the function. Before you convert an application’s files, back up your data files. Consider Your Setup Before you try to convert from your version of Bank Reconciliation, consider the exact setup of your system. Since OSAS code can be customized, modifications to your system might be lost if you install a new version of a program or update a file. If you are not sure if your system is ready for conversion, consult your value-added reseller. Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual 2-5 Conversion Installation and Conversion Converting to Version 6.1 Select Data File Conversion from the Company Setup menu in Resource Manager. The function screen appears. 1. The system displays all valid OSAS data paths. Select the destination directory where your new data files will reside. 2.

However, it gets most of its information from Inventory, which can be interfaced with several other applications. See the Inventory User’s Manual and other user’s manuals for information about other interfaces that could have an indirect effect on Bill of Materials/Kitting. Bill of Materials/Kitting version 6.1 does not work with any version of Inventory, Accounts Receivable, or Sales Order lower than 6.10. Bill of Materials/Kitting performs a specific operation: it tracks the building of a bill of materials. This operation involves the creation of a retail item from other inventory items (and needs the Inventory application). Assemblies involve only Bill of Materials/Kitting and Inventory. You can sell an assembly through Accounts Receivable or Sales Order, but its constituent parts are not directly taken into account at the point of sale. Building and selling kits involves grouping and selling items as a single item that can be sold only through Sales Order. If Sales Order is not interfaced with Bill of Materials/Kitting but Inventory is, you can take advantage only of the functions that pertain to assemblies; you can still build assemblies, but you cannot sell them as kits. If you sell a kit through Sales Order, the constituent parts of the kit are automatically taken into account. If Sales Order is interfaced with Bill of Materials/ Kitting and General Ledger, kit information is sent to the GLJRxxx file when you post. If Bill of Materials/Kitting is interfaced with General Ledger, information about builds is sent to the GLJRxxx file through the BKJRxxx (Transaction/Journal) file. If Bill of Materials/Kitting is not interfaced with General Ledger, no information is sent to the GLJRxxx file when you post. Preparing Your Data Follow these steps to prepare your data: Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual 3-5 Setting Up Bill of Materials/Kitting Set Up and Work Flow 1. Organize your lists of components that constitute a kit or a bill of materials and the quantities for each. (Components, kits, and assemblies must be set up in Inventory first because Inventory must recognize each item.) 2. Prepare the information specified in chapter 2 in the Inventory User’s Manual. 3. Build tables (see page 6-27). 4. Define bills of materials (see page 6-7). 5. Define kits (see page 6-3). 6. Set up access codes. You should establish valid kits and bills of materials immediately after you install Bill of Materials/Kitting. Tables Before you begin to define bills of materials and kits, you must set up the system tables. • The Terminology (TRMBK) table holds labels of the user-defined fields used in the Kits and Bill of Materials functions. • The General Ledger (BKGLxxx) table assigns the general ledger accounts you specify to the amounts entered for the three user-defined fields. Access Codes To restrict access to data files, menus, and functions that provide confidential information or are sensitive to change, use the Resource Manager Access Codes function to set up access codes on your system. Access codes are company-specific. When you set up an access code for a user, the code is assigned the company you are in. After you set up your access codes, print a list of them and store it in a safe place. 3-6 Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual Set Up and Work Flow Setting Up Bill of Materials/Kitting Creating a Backup Schedule Back up your Bill of Materials/Kitting data files whenever they change and before you run these functions: • • • • • • Build Assembly Components Multilevel Cost Rollup Purge Bill of Materials History Post Transactions Undo Build Back up your programs once a month as insurance against media damage or deterioration. Use the Backup function on the Resource Manager Data File Maintenance menu to back up files. Note You must back up all the files in the data path for a particular list of companies at once to ensure that you have up-to-date copies of the system files. Do not try to use operating system commands to back up only a few files that have been changed; if you do, your system may not work after you restore them. The Backup function backs up all the data files for a specified company in a data path at one time. Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual 3-7 Work Flow Your work flow is divided into daily and periodic tasks. After the kits and bills of materials are established, you can use the File Maintenance functions to update information about kits or assemblies, substitute components among several kits and assemblies, and remove unnecessary data from history. Daily Tasks You can use the functions on the Daily Work menu only if you have established bills of materials. Adding Kits To add a kit, you must use an ID of an existing inventory item that has been marked as a kit in Inventory, provided that it is not already a bill of materials. The reason is that when you sell the kit, Sales Order gets kit information from Inventory files. Sales Order cannot recognize it except as an inventory item. The best way to add a kit is to use the Items function in Inventory. When you use the Items function, you know that the inventory item has been established to be used as a kit. Sales Order recognizes the inventory item, and you can change an established kit in the Kits function. Deleting Kits To delete a kit from the BKMHxxx (Master Header) and BKMDxxx (Master Detail) files, use the Delete (F3) command in the Kits function. You cannot undo this action. Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual 3-9 Work Flow Set Up and Work Flow Adding Assemblies To add an assembly, you must use an ID of an existing inventory item, provided that it is not already an assembly or a kit. The reason is that when you sell the assembly, Accounts Receivable and Sales Order get assembly information from the Inventory system. Accounts Receivable and Sales Order cannot recognize it except as an inventory item. The best way to add an assembly is to use the Items function in Inventory. When you use the Items function, you know that the inventory item has been established to be used as an assembly. Accounts Receivable and Sales Order recognize the inventory item, and you can change an established assembly in the Bill of Materials function. Deleting Assemblies To delete an assembly, use the Delete (F3) command in the Bill of Materials function. The assembly record is deleted from the BKMHxxx and BKMDxxx files, but an assembly of which the deleted assembly was a part is not deleted. For example, if assembly 100 is part of assembly 450 and you delete assembly 100, the record for assembly 100 is gone; the record for assembly 450 and the components that make it up are still intact. Whether you keep the deleted subassembly as part of the definition of assemblies is up to you. When a component is marked as a subassembly, the component is considered as another assembly. When a component is marked as an item, it is considered only as an inventory item. When you use the Delete (F3) command, the system checks for other occurrences of the assembly’s usage as a subassembly (Sub). If the subassembly is not part of another assembly’s definition, the subassembly’s record is deleted and the task is complete. If the subassembly is part of another assembly’s definition, a prompt appears: Change Sub ID to Item Everywhere? 3-10 Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual Set Up and Work Flow Work Flow To change the definition of all the other assemblies that use the ID from a subassembly (assembly) to an item (nonassembly from the Inventory file), select Yes (or enter Y in text mode). To leave the other assemblies’ definitions alone, select No (or enter N in text mode). Note If you elected not to change other assemblies and you try to build an assembly that involves a deleted subassembly, you will not be allowed to build the deleted subassembly. Monthly Tasks At the end of every month, complete the daily work and print the period-to-date reports. Periodic Tasks Periodic tasks comprise tracking the occurrences of building assemblies and posting transactions. Produce the reports on the Reports menu periodically as a backup before you purge information and as a safeguard against circumstances that might harm your data. Posting Transactions If Bill of Materials/Kitting is interfaced with General Ledger, entries and transactions associated with a general ledger account are transferred from the BKJRxxx (Transaction/Journal) file to the GLJRxxx (Journal) file for accurate tracking of the individual inventory general ledger accounts and the user-defined accounts in the BKJRxxx file. Each component’s inventory account is credited for the cost amount and each userdefined account. The assembly’s inventory account is debited for the sum of the components’ costs and the user-defined amounts. Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual 3-11 Work Flow Set Up and Work Flow If detail is to be posted, information about each component in the BKJRxxx file is sent to the GLJRxxx file. If only summary information is to be posted, information in the BKJRxxx file is accumulated for each general ledger account and the sum total is transferred to the GLJRxxx file. Assembly Inventory Account DB Component Inventory Account User-Defined 4 Account CR CR User-Defined 5 Account CR User-Defined 6 Account CR If General Ledger is not interfaced, no information is sent to the GLJRxxx file, but the posting log is still produced to show what would have been posted. Before you post, complete these tasks: 3-12 • If you have a multiuser system, make sure that no one else is using the Bill of Materials/Kitting system. You cannot post if someone else is using the Bill of Materials/Kitting files. • Print the Build Assembly Journal. • Back up all the data files.

Negative quantities discovered—Press Enter to back out build. The Allow Negative builds option is set to NO in the Options and Interfaces function in Resource Manager. Press Enter to abort. If you want to build an assembly that will drive the quantity of one of your items below zero, you must set the Allow Negative Builds option to YES in Resource Manager. A-6 Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual References System Messages No bills of material on file. You have not defined any BOMs. Define a BOM (assembly) in the Bill of Materials function. Press any key to continue with Recalc. To recalculate the number of assemblies to build, press any key. Press F3 to delete the entire {ID}. When you try to delete an assembly or a kit, this message appears for verification. If you do not want to delete, use the Abandon (F5) command. Quantity must be greater than zero. You must enter a positive quantity. A quantity of zero would mean that you do no want to build, and a negative quantity would mean that you want to take assemblies apart. Quantity will become {n} for inventory. You have instructed the system to push the quantity of the assembly larger than 999,999.9999 or smaller than -999,999.9999. Reduce or increase the quantity to fit within the range. Recalculate cost total? Information about the item (assembly or kit) has changed, probably because of a change in the INVExxx (Items) file with one of the items involved. To enter the instruction to recalculate the cost, use the Proceed (PgDn) command; to cancel, use the Abandon (F5) command. Record in use. Because someone else is using the item (assembly or kit) you are trying to work with, you cannot change the record, and can read it only when the other user is finished using the record. Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual A-7 System Messages References Restoring item: {ID}.

A-8 Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual References System Messages Valid units of measure are: You must enter one of the units of measure listed at the bottom of the screen. You must build the CNVTxxx table first. You must build the CNVTxxx table before you build assemblies or assign transactions to periods. If General Ledger is installed, you can interface Bill of Materials/Kitting with General Ledger and use the Period Setup function in Resource Manager to build the CNVTxxx table. Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual A-9 References Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual File Descriptions File Descriptions B BKHIxxx (History) file When you build, information is sent from a scratch file to the BKJRxxx and BKHIxxx files and to the Inventory system. The BKHIxxx file holds historical information about each assembly built: quantity and cost of the assembly, date of the assembly, and information in the user-defined fields. The file holds information until you remove it. Use the Purge Bill of Materials History function to remove information from the BKHIxxx file, based on the date it was built. BKJRxxx (Transaction/Journal) file When you build, information is sent from the scratch file to the BKHIxxx, BKJRxxx, BKTRxxx, and BKLSxxx files and to the Inventory system. The BKJRxxx file is sent account information about each component: general ledger period, account number, assembly ID and date of assembly, entry type and amount, sequence number, description, and reference number. This information is held in the file until you post, when it is transferred to the GLJRxxx file. BKLSxxx (Transaction Lot/Serial Numbers) file The BKLSxxx file stores quantities and lot and serial information from builds. BKMDxxx (Master Detail) file The BKMDxxx file stores information about assemblies, components, and general ledger account numbers. Bill of Materials/Kitting User’s Manual B-1 File Descriptions References BKMHxxx (Master Header) file The BKMHxxx file stores information about assemblies and user-defined fields. BKTB (Tables) file The BKTB file stores information about the TRMBK and BKGLxxx tables. The TRMBK table stores information about user-defined fields that you can assign to the header section of the Kits function and the Bill of Materials function. Refer to the Tables function for information about how the information is used. The BKGLxxx table stores general ledger accounts for user-defined fields. You can assign these accounts to user-defined fields 4 to 6 in the header section of the Bill of Materials function. When you build an assembly or a kit, information about which components are involved comes from the BKMDxxx file. Information about each component comes from the Inventory system. Information for user-defined fields comes from the BKTB file. BKTRx (Build Assembly Transaction) file The BKTRx file stores information about assemblies, components, levels, units of measure, general ledger account numbers, quantities, and costs from builds.
